The epitome of the word bittersweet. We dropped Carter off at Catholic University in Washington DC yesterday. There will be only 700 Freshmen housed on campus this year. The rest of the student body is doing distance learning. I hope this works out.
Taking your child off to college is hard on parents at the best of times. It was sad for all of us; his girlfriend, my wife, and his 7 year-old sister. He is very close with his mom, and she's having a tough time. I got home and bawled like a baby but that sadness is for me. I know Carter is going to make the transition to college life, it's going to be good for him and in turn Carter will be good for this world. He's bright, multi-talented, caring, and an engaging conversationalist. He will fit in very well with the DC area.
But damn it's hard. I miss him
I know some of you live in the DC area, maybe I'll send one of y'all over to check on him. What could possibly go wrong?
